or appropriated as military spoil No property
in the North would be spared from the bauds
of the rebels,and their ropine won d be d tend
ed under the laws of war. While the loyal
States thus have all their property and posses
sions at stake, are the insurgent rebels to carry
on warfare against the government in peace
and security to their own property ?
Reason aod justic and self preservation for
bid that such should be the policy of this
Goverument, but demand, on the contrary,
that, being forced by traitors and rebels to
the extremity of war, all the rights aud pow
er of war should be exercised to bring it to a
speedy end.
Those who make war against the Govern
ment justly forfeit all rights of property, priv
ilege, or security, derived from the Constitu
tion and laws, against which they are in armed
rebellion ; aud as the labor and service of
their slaves constitute the ehief property of the
rebels, such property should share the common
fate of war to which they have devoted the
property of loyal citizens.
While it is plain that the slave property of
the South is justly subjected to all the conse
qaences of the rebellious war, and that the
Goverument would be untrue to its trust in
not employing all the rights and powers of
war to bring it to a speedy close, the details
of the plan for doing so, like all other military
measures, must, iu a great degree, be left to
ba determined by particular exigencis. The
disposition of other property belonging to the
rebels that becomes subject to our arms is gov
ernd by the circumstances of the case. The
Governmeut lias no power to hold slaves, none
to restain a slave of his liberty, or to exact
his service. It has a right, however, to use
the voluntary service of slaves liberated by
war from their rebel masters, like any other
properly of the rebels, iu whatever mood may
be most efficient for the defense of the Gov
ernment, the prosecution of the war, and the
suppression of the rebellion. It as clearly a
right of the Government to arms slaves when
it may become necessary as it is to use gun
powder taken from the enemy. Whether it is
expedient to do so is purely a military ques
tion. The right is unquestionable by the laws
of war. The expediency must be determined
by circmmstauces, keeping in view, the great!
object of overcoming the rebels, re-establish
ing the laws, and restoriug peace to the Da- .
tiou.
It is vain and idle for the Government to
carry on this war, or hope to maintain its ex- j
ißtence against rebellious force, without eui- j
ploying all the rights ami powers of war. As
has been said, the right to deprive the rebels
of their property in slaves and slave labor, is
as clear and absolute, us the right to take
forage from the Geld, or cotton from the ware
house, or powder and arms from ;he maga-j
zine. To leave the euemy in the possession of
such property as forage and cotton and mili
tary stores, and the means of constantly re
producing them, would be madness. It is,
therefore, equal madness to leave them in
peaceful and secure.possession of slave proper
ly, more valuable and efficient to them for
war, than forage, cotton, and military stores.
Such policy would be national suicide. What
to do with that species of property, is a ques j
tiou that time and circumstance will solve, and
teed Dot be anticipated further than to repeat
that they cannot be held by the Govcrnmont
us slaves. It would be useless to keep them
as prissoners of war ; and self-preservation, ,
the highest duty of a Government, or of iudi |
viduats, demauds that they should be disposed
of or employed in the most effective manner
that will tend most speedily to suppress the
insurrection aud restore the authority of the i
Government. If it shall be found that the
meu who have been held by the rebels as slaves ;
are capable of bearing arms and performing ,
efficient military service, it is the right, and
may become the duty, o; the Government to
arm and equip them, and employ their services
against the rebels, under proper military reg- •
illation, descipline, and command.
But in whatever manner they may be used
l y the Government, it is plain that, once lib
erated by the rebellious act of their masters,
tbey should never again be restored to bond- j
age. By the master's treason and rebellion
he forfeits all right to the labor and service '
of his slave ; and the slave of the rebellious
master, by his service to the Government,
becomes justly entitled to freedom and pro
tection.
The disposisiou to be made of the slaves of
rebels, after the close of the war, can be safe
ly left to the wi ;dom aud patriotism of Con
gress. The Representatives of the People
will unquestionably secure to the loyal slave
holders every right to which they are entitled
under the Constitution of the country.
SIMON CAMERON, Sec y of Wur
To the President.
[After the Report of the Secretary of War
had been sent to the newspapers, a modifica
tion was made, it is said, by the Presideut.—
The concluding portion of the original report
commencing at the words "It has become a
grave question for determination what shall be
done with the slaves," was erased and the fol
lowing paragraph substituted :
"It is already a grave question what shall
be done by the slaves who are abandoned by
their owners on the advance of our troops in
to sonthern territory, as at Beaufort District,
in South Carolina. The number left withiu
our control at that poiut is very considerable,
and similar cases will probably occur. What
shall be done with them? Can we afford to
6end them forward to their masters, to be by
them armed against us ; withheld from the en
emy, it lessens his military resources, and with
holding them has no tendency to induce the
horrors of insurrection eveu in the rebel com
munities. They constitute a military resource,
and, being such, that they should uot be turn
ed over to the enemy is too plain to discuss.—
Why deprive him of supplies by a blockade,
and voluntarily give him men to produce sup
plies? The disposition to be made of the slaves
of rebels after the close of the war cau be safe
ly left to the wisdom and patriotism of Con
gress. The representatives of the people will,
unquestionably, secure to the loyal slavehold
ers every right to which they are entitled un
der the Constitution of the country."

CAUTION.
" To he, or not to be— hat is the question!
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition,
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
tXiHE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
j X tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
| about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping "to delude
the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
| binding to me, thev are in no danger of being defrauded.
: For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
has taken great pains t satisfy the public I was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie?" If 1 have l>een engaged in a fraud, he has been th
principal. But I refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count.as I know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support
I shall endeavor by good work and attentiou to my busi
ness to give public satisfaction.
